A Miracle for Mikey

Donation protected

The truth is... we're not ok...

What started like a neck injury during wrestling practice (in school) turned into an in and out of ER/Hospitals long year nightmare.






He's a house plant now.

After the neck injury, he started having seizures. 3-5 a month if he slept bad (poor neck posture).
Several competent and infectious disease MDs said neck injury compromised blood brain barrier and Mikey was diagnosed with Lyme and Bartonella. Miami Childrens started treatment that worked and reduced seizures, but it took one ignorant resident from Arnold Palmer Children hospital to stop the therapy that worked, and in doing so ruined our family in the process (I was busy saving my sons life to fight them in courts, but I am finishing book about what they did to Mikey. And us).
Mikey was misdiagnosed and on wrong meds for almost 6 years.
42 ambulance rides.
38 hospital stays.
20 epilepsy medications that not only failed, but each sent him to ER.
VNS in place since last April but not working (not true epilepsy!).
Cleveland Ohio did all imagining and said he was not the candidate for surgery - nothing structurally wrong with his beautiful brain.
But Ohio also only looked into more pills and surgeries.
Lyme and Barotnella now chronic and hard to treat, 5 years later...

Not sure how we went from neck injury to over 14,998 (!!!) so far... and counting.

PRAYERS first, than the rest... If you belong to a church, please add Michael Gabriel's name to the prayer list.
If you have a bible study/womens/men study group, please take a moment and pray for my son...
Whatever your religion and beliefs are, I am begging all people with good and kind hearts to help the best way they can :(

MEDICAL CARE IN EUROPE
We have exhausted all of the options here.
I know it in my heart that my son is not given a chance for healing because everybody is too proud to say they’ve made a mistake!
Europe has great care for cases like my sons and we need funds to go pursue that option. 
Germany had most wonderful Lyme clinics, but we cannot afford them.
Michael is so weak that he can barely handle a 30 minutes drive.
We need to fly him first class. Pay for housing, keep up with his diet and medical care.
please help us make this trip happen.

Medical bills.
I feel so ashamed to be asking help this way but, I'm the only one working now - Larry lost job about a year ago and is caring for Mikey 24/7
We're all out.
My husband stepped up and became a stay at home dad. When I can, and Michaels health permitting, I go to work - bills don't wait on anybody... 
Hospitals keep calling about bills overdo, to claim whats theirs...

Unpredictable things like this happen, and not just to other people. One could never prepare for something like this. To watch their child go from healthy and happy to wasting away in hospitals :(

We need help covering his therapies, NUMEROUS doctors visits and treatments, neurofeedback, ambulance rides, hospital stays, tests, medications, possible surgery, speech therapy... 

UPDATE:
We had proper diagnosis and treatment that worked, but Arnold Palmer Hospital (resident!) did not believe in Lyme and Bartonella in Florida and discontinued treatment that worked. Called incompetent state agenciesIt that ruined my son, he is still in therapy.

September 2025 and we still don’t have answers. Michael is still struggling, daily...
My husband lost job almost a year ago, Mikey needs 24/7 care now.
We just can’t keep up with bills...
We went from going places to GoFundMe...
From an athlete to a houseplant...
From friends to just parents faces all day long...
From school to Hospital Homebound... barely leaving the house...


If you can donate, please find it in your kind heart to do so. 
If you cannot help financially, please send him a card to cheer him on.
If you cannot send a card... Last but not least - please offer the PRAYER. Michael needs them right now. 

Please help if you can.

THANK YOU, from he bottom of our hearts!!!

If you have any ideas who or what could possibly help him, PLEASE feel free to contact me.
